LDS Holidays

Holidays Celebrated by Latter-day Saints

As Latter-day Saints we love to celebrate the holidays because they mean spending special time with our families. Many of the holidays we celebrate are to remind us of important things such as the birth of Christ at Christmas, his Resurrection at Easter, New Year's to make goals, and Pioneer Day when the Saints traveled west into the Salt Lake Valley. Following (in order by month) are a list of articles and other resources for these great holidays.
